MUSIC.INSPIRED.BY.THE.SNOW.GOOSE.....by.CAMEL

Music Inspired by The Snow Goose is the third album released by the band Camel in 1975. The success of the White Rider suite (based on J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and appearing on the band's previous album, Mirage), inspired the group to write more novel-inspired conceptual suites. The band considered several novels on which to base their next album. For a time they settled on Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse, and some songs were written before the idea was abandoned in favor of Paul Gallico's novel The Snow Goose. The album's name, originally simply "The Snow Goose", was altered to accommodate legal protests by Gallico.
The album reached silver status in 1981, and is considered by many to be their most accessible work. It is remarkable for having no lyrics and orchestral (plus rock) instrumentation.

MIKE.OLDFIELD.-.TUBULAR.BELLS

Tubular Bells is the debut record album of English musician Mike Oldfield, released in 1973. Vivian Stanshall provided the voice of the "Master of Ceremonies" who reads off the list of instruments at the end of the first movement. The piece was later orchestrated by David Bedford for The Orchestral Tubular Bells version and it had three sequels in the 1990s, Tubular Bells II (1992), Tubular Bells III (1998) and The Millennium Bell (1999). Finally, the album was fully re-recorded at its 30th anniversary in 2003 as Tubular Bells 2003.

A newly mastered and mixed re-issue of the original album appeared in June 2009 on Mercury Records, with bonus material. On 6 June there were international bell ringing ceremonies to promote the release.

Album artwork

Tubular Bells picture disc.The cover design was by Trevor Key, who would go on to create the covers of many Oldfield albums, and was inspired by Magritte's "Castle in the Pyrenees".

The concept for the triangular bell on the album cover art originally came from the idea of a bell which had been destroyed. Oldfield had come up with this when he had dented the set of Tubular bells used to record the album when playing them.

The "bent bell" image on the cover is also associated with Oldfield, even being used for the logo of his personal music company, Oldfield Music, Ltd. The image was also the main focus for the cover art of the successive Tubular Bells albums. Tubular Bells has also been issued as a vinyl picture disc, showing the bent bell on a skyscape.

The album cover for Tubular Bells was among the ten chosen by the Royal Mail for a set of "Classic Album Cover" postage stamps issued in January 2010.

THIRD.SISTER.LOVERS.by.BIG.STAR

After the first two Big Star albums, 1972's #1 Record and 1974's Radio City, failed to achieve commercial success, Alex Chilton went back into Ardent Studios in late 1974 to make a series of recordings. The resulting album, which included guitar work by Steve Cropper (on a cover of The Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale"), as well as drumming by Jody Stephens, was deemed too uncommercial for release at the time, and only saw the light of day in 1978. Since then, other tracks from the sessions, including covers of songs by Jerry Lee Lewis and the Kinks, have been reissued on various versions of the album, which seems to have been left uncompleted.

Third takes the original Big Star sound and abstracts it, with synthesizers, strings and saxophones emerging from the mix. The album deals with bitterness, loneliness and emotional devastation, but does so in a way that retains some elements of pop music, as on "Thank You Friends," which features female backing vocals reminiscent of those found on Elvis Presley recordings of the late '60s. "Kangaroo" and "Holocaust" have often been compared to some of the raw recordings of Yoko Ono and John Lennon. "You Can't Have Me" is akin to a deconstructed song by the Who, and the halting ballad "Dream Lover" contains the famous line about "Beale Street green." Although many critics regard Radio City as the definitive Big Star album, Third is perhaps the most innovative album the group ever recorded, and influenced many subsequent bands, including Primal Scream and His Name Is Alive. In addition, the album contains what are arguably Alex Chilton's finest vocal performances.

TRACK LISTING:

"Kizza Me" – 2:44 (Alex Chilton)
"Thank You Friends" – 3:05 (Chilton)
"Big Black Car" – 3:35 (Chilton)

BRUCE.SPRINGSTEEN.-.DARKNESS.ON.THE.EDGE.OF.TOWN

Darkness on the Edge of Town is the fourth album by Bruce Springsteen, released in 1978 .
Recovering from legal troubles and the stress of the breakthrough success of Born to Run, Springsteen released a somewhat less commercial album, Darkness on the Edge of Town.
In terms of the original LP's sequencing, Springsteen continued his "four corners" approach from Born to Run, as the songs beginning each side ("Badlands" and "The Promised Land") were martial rallying cries to overcome circumstances, while the songs ending each side ("Racing in the Street", "Darkness on the Edge of Town") were sad dirges of circumstances overcoming all hope. Unlike Born to Run, the songs were recorded by the full band all at once, frequently soon after Springsteen had written them.[1] When Springsteen sings: "Summer's here and the time is right for racing in the street," on the track "Racing in the Street," he is taking-off Martha & the Vandellas' Dancing in the Street. [2] Steven Van Zandt received a credit for production assistance for helping Springsteen tighten the arrangements from Born to Run's epic sound.[1]
At the time, Darkness claimed the number one slot on NME album of the year ranking. In 2003, the album was ranked number 151 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.[3] The same year, the TV network VH1 named Darkness on the Edge of Town the 68th greatest album of all time.
The cover shot and inner sleeve photo were taken by photographer Frank Stefanko inside Stefanko's Haddonfield, New Jersey home.

KING.KRIMSON.-.IN.THE.COURT.OF.CRIMSON.KING

In the Court of the Crimson King (an observation by King Crimson) is the 1969 debut album by the British progressive rock group King Crimson. The album reached #3 on the British charts. The album is certified gold in the United States.

The album is generally viewed as one of the strongest of the progressive rock genre, where King Crimson largely stripped away the blues-based foundations of rock music and mixed together with jazz and European symphonic elements. In his 1997 book Rocking the Classics, critic and musicologist Edward Macan notes that In the Court of the Crimson King "may be the most influential progressive rock album ever released".The Who's Pete Townshend was quoted as calling the album "an uncanny masterpiece".

The album was remastered and re-released on vinyl and CD several times during the 1980s and 1990s, although all these versions were based on masters that had some inevitable tape degradation. The original first-generation stereo master tapes were finally located in a Virgin Records storage vault in 2003, leading to a much improved remastered CD version released in 2004 and a surround sound mix to be released in 2009 for the album's 40th anniversary.

The album consists of five long songs. Most of these have additional titles given to sub-sections. This was done not to reflect actual divisions in the music but to ensure that the group would receive the full amount of song writing royalties from their music publisher and record company. With the sub-sections included the album can be seen as having a full 12 songs, the typical number for a standard rock album. Since the album was made new rules have become standard in the music publishing business which take into account the length of the songs as well as the number of titles on an album.

TRACK LISTING

Original album:

Side one
"21st Century Schizoid Man" (Fripp, McDonald, Lake, Giles, Sinfield) – 7:21
including "Mirrors"
"I Talk to the Wind" (McDonald, Sinfield) – 6:05

BEFORE.YOU.DIE.PART.44.-.VANGELIS.-.HEAVEN.AND.HELL

Heaven and Hell, released in 1975, is the fifth solo album by Greek electronic composer and artist Vangelis. It got worldwide recognition through the use of "Movement 3" as the theme for the television documentary series Cosmos.
The album has classical overtones, occasionally branching into ethnic themes, in contrast with the progressive rock on both the previous and the following albums, Earth (1973) and Albedo 0.39 (1976) respectively. Vangelis would return to classical style work ten years later, on Mask (1985).
This album also marked the first collaboration between Vangelis and Jon Anderson, on "So Long Ago, So Clear", which would continue more fully a few years later.
Heaven and Hell reached number 31 in the UK album charts in January 1976.
Track listing
The audio CD has two tracks:
1. "Heaven and Hell (part one)" – 21:58
o includes "So Long Ago, So Clear" – 4:58
2. "Heaven and Hell (part two)" – 21:16
Older pressings of the LP had a more elaborate track listing (in parenthesis, even more details):
Part One:

o "Bacchanale" – 4:40
o "Symphony to the Powers B" (Movements 1 and 2) – 8:18
o "Movement 3" (from "Symphony to the Powers B") – 4:03
o "So Long Ago, So Clear" – 5:00
Part Two:

o "Intestinal Bat" – 3:18
o "Needles and Bones" – 3:22
o "12 O'Clock" (in two parts) – 8:48
o "Aries" – 2:05
o "A Way" – 3:45
"So Long Ago, So Clear" is not to be part of the overall album concept but rather a bonus track, for which reason was singled out in the minimal CD version of the track listing. "Movement 3" is also known as "Theme from Cosmos".
Personnel
• Vangelis - synthesizers, Bösendorfer grand piano, percussion, arrangements
• Jon Anderson - vocals on "So Long Ago, So Clear"
• Vana Veroutis - vocals on "12 O'Clock"
• English Chamber Choir, conducted by Guy Protheroe

ROY.HARPER.-.BULLINAMINGVASE

This album is one of Harpers most polished recordings, featuring a rich mix of musicians and instruments, including the Vauld Symphony Orchestra (named after the Hereford farm Harper owned and recorded in at the time). Brilliant lyrics, as 'clear' as Harpers guitar playing, make this a stand out album from Harpers back catalogue. The current CD release (Science Friction HUCD021) has been remastered with SNS 20-bit digital supermapping, allowing the 'full texture' of the music to be appreciated.

One of the albums highlights is the epic, 19 minute, "One Of Those Days In England (Parts 2-10)" (originally side 2 of the album). Comprising several musical movements, this song is a collection of reminiscences from both a personal and cultural perspective. Harper sings of "Britannica and all those who sail in her, especially those with Albions cultural heritage claws..."

Originally the album contained the song "Watford Gap" which contained somewhat disparaging lyrics "...concerning the Watford Gap service station, a motorway service area situated between junctions 16 and 17 of the M1 Motorway, near Watford Gap, in Northamptonshire, England". "Watford Gap, Watford Gap, a plate of grease and a load of crap" sang Harper.

"Subsequent pressings omitted the song at the behest of an EMI board member who was (also) a non-executive director of Blue Boar (the owners of the service station)..."

Under duress, Harper replaced the controversial track with "Breakfast With You", a song Harper himself allegedly described as "pap".

With the re-print of Bullinamingvase, Harvest Records included a promo "single". The tracks included were:

Side A – "Referendum (Legend)" / "Another Day" (Live Version)
Side B – "Tom Tiddler's Ground"
Another promo release on the Harvest label (SPSR 408), contained the tracks:

Side A – "One Of Those Days In England" / "Watford Gap"
Side B – "Naked Flame" / (Extract from One Of Those Days In England) - "Mrs Space"
"Watford Gap" was finally restored to the 1996 re-issued CD, and "Breakfast With You" closes that CD.

1977 Harvest Reprint:

Side One
"One Of Those Days In England" – 3:25
"These Last Days" – 4:26
"Cherishing the Lonesome" – 5:54
"Naked Flame" – 5:06
"Breakfast With You" – 2:42

Side Two
"One Of Those Days In England (Parts 2-10)" – 19:27
